Deploying a Vue app on Digital Ocean
I have a Vue app using Manifest for the backend. I want to deploy it on my DigitalOcean droplet.
I have got the codebase on my droplet, and when i run
npm run start:prod I am able to access the admin panel. However, I am not sure if Manifest is also supposed to start the Vue app? I have the PUBLIC_FOLDER env value set to ./dist, so I am not sure what else to do or where else to look.
Any help is appreciated, thanks!...Updating group fields does not work

Showing/hiding properties in API based on user’s role
Hi, I was wondering if it’s possible to show/hide specific properties based on user’s access level. Similarly, could some attributes be shown/hidden based on whether user is record’s owner or not.

Looking for guidance
Hi Folks! I am trying to build a small personal project using manifest backend. Is anyone able to help clarify few things ?
1. Is there any limitation on features if I choose sqlite rather than postgres/mysql for my project ?
2. Is there any difference in how String and textarea types are implemented internally (max length, encoding, etc. ) or is it just for admin interface ?
